IMPROVEMENT IE EAEM GATES.

TO ALL WI-IOM 1T MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL B. COOPER, of the city of Beloit, in thecounty of Rock, and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new anduseful improvements in Farm Gates; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full'and exact description thereof, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon and making a part of this speeiication.

.Figure 1 i's a perspective view ofthe gate complete.

Figure 2 is a top sectional view; and

Figure 3 is a rear sectional view taken in the line of A to B from theright of the gate, iig. l, and showing the slot in the post B, and thefence-post D.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures.

'lhedrawings fully explain the character of my invention.

A represents the frame of the gate; B therevolvingv slotted post; a andH are pulleys on which the gate runs freely from right to-left and viceversa. through the slotted post in opening and closing. E and e form abrace or support for the 'gate pendent from and attached to the saidrevolving post B. b are gudgeons to the same, and C is the capconnecting said post to the fence-post D. The gate is operated byrunning it to the right on the pulleys a and H, and swinging it forwardvinto the lane or field, the post B being` arranged and suited to thatinode of manipulation. By elevating the pulleys a and H the gate may beraised to any suitable height to avoid deep snow or drifts. The gate ismade fast to the fence-post in front, when closed, by any convenientdevice. Simplicity and cheapness will recommend this improvement in farmgates to general favor.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. I claim broadly the revolving' slotted post B, for the purpose setforth.

2. I claim the brace E e, and pulley H for the purpose specified; and

3. I ela-im an improved farm gate, in combination With the revolvingslotted post B, brace E and e, pulleys H and a, gudge'ons b, cap C, andfence-post D, as herein set forth for the purpose specified.
